Tip the Host is a feature that Giving Day Hosts can utilize to offer donors the opportunity to support the broader impact of a Giving Day by contributing directly to the host organization or a shared stretch pool.
This option can be presented during the donation checkout or on the organization search page. Designed to recognize the Host's efforts and to encourage support beyond individual nonprofits, this feature also provides a flexible way to boost funds for stretch pool incentives.
Step 1: Navigate to the setup page
From your Partner Dashboard, click the 'Details' tab on the left navigation panel. Then, select 'Payments, Donations, & Fees' from the newly expanded dropdown.
Click the 'Manage Tip the Host' button under the 'Donation Setup' section.
Step 2: Select a Campaign
Search for and select the campaign for which you want to enable this feature.
Step 3: Add to your donation form and/or on the search page
Using the buttons under the dropdown, click to add a tagline to your donation form and/or a button on the search page.
Donation Form: Before donors complete Checkout, they will be asked if they would like to make an additional gift to a specific fund. This can be used to highlight a participating organization or the Giving Host.
You may choose the organization that collects the funds, but it should be named as you would like it to appear if you have it within the donation flow. The group must be registered for the Giving Day and may be hidden from the participating organization list if desired.
Tip: If the organization collecting the funds is also raising funds for the Giving Day, and you would like to identify which donations came from 'Tip the Host', we recommend cloning the profile and copying the bank account information if applicable.
Search Page: Button text (and the button itself) can be linked directly to the organization’s profile or the donation form.
Step 4: Save your changes!
When you are finished, click the 'Save' button near the bottom of the page.
